When everybody used to go to basket-ball games downstairs And miss their cues, And we used to eat much, much candy; Then the ones we had on holidays. When everybody used to freeze And still we ate candy? Then there was the day when Miss Dowding Told somebody to sit on comfort And half an hour later she found everybody Searching frantically around the auditorium For the comfort. But the evening rehearsals we shall never forget; Usually it snowed And it was always freezing in the auditorium, And between the cold, and our natural weariness We made some rather dumb mistakes Until our poor instructor was almost in despair. But we finally triumphed over circumstances And “came up smiling , And now that it's all over, we all agree That on the whole Those Senior Play rehearsals were pretty good fun! Ruth Whitlock, 'J4

Everything that we have successfully accomplished has been due largely to the unceasing efforts and ever readv aid of the teachers- We wish to thank Miss Orgill for her wonderful faithfulness and unselfishness in her part a Senior teacher, and the other faculty advisors, Mrs. Jenkins, Miss Hammell, and Mr. Stewart, who have been invaluable to our class. Mrs. Jenkins has been our advisor ever since she was our teacher in the eighth grade, and has remained loyal and faithful to us through all our high school career. Special mention and deepest gratitude are due Miss Dowding. who trained us for our Senior play and for all our dramatic activities. In connection with the Senior play, we wish to thank also Miss Howard, Miss Dickenson, and Miss (agger, who assisted 11s with the scenery, costumes, and music. Miss Bible has been untiring in giving us advice and help in our literary efforts and in many other fields and has proven herself a true friend to us all. Each member of the faculty has rendered many services, not only in the actual work they have done for us. but also in their encouragement and interest in all our attempts.

3D tUhe J33eail]er 1-lane (Elaaa muj Words and Music by Florence Mundy We've worked and we've played together, In the four long years gone by, At first we were only Freshmen, But with spirits flaming high. Determined to pass with honor. At the end of the High School year. And finally we joined the Sophomores, And our hearts were full of cheer. Another hard year we struggled To become the Junior class. Each person a faithful worker. And striving to do his best. Despite all the loyal backing Of our teachers true and kind, A few of our friends and classmates Were left far, yes, far behind. But the rest of the class kept together Through the year of twenty-three, The jolliest crowd of Juniors, That you ever hope to see- We worked yet enjoyed the best times That the school could give with pride, And in June the carefree Juniors, Became Seniors dignified. So now we are “worthy Seniors”. Yet no longer gay, but sad. For soon we must leave our high school, And the friends here we have had, And on life’s ever widening pathways, We will journey on to fame, While the laurels we win in the future. Will re-echo Westfields’ name.
